It is a rocky marine outcrop about a hundred meters offshore from the Sandy Beach Hotel. Snoopy Island which, does indeed, look something like the famous cartoon dog sleeping atop his doghouse. Snoopy Island is one of the UAE’s most popular spot for snorkelers due to its accessibility and how it’s is relatively protected from all weathers.

Snorkelers are often more likely than divers to encounter the guitar and black tipped sharks that appear in the cooler months. Marine life is plentiful at Snoopy Island, although there’s less coral on the shore side than the sea facing side. You can expect to see big mouth mackerel, morays, anemones, clownfish and lionfish. You may also see turtles and the previously mentioned black tipped reef sharks. Look out for smaller marine life such as pipefish, shrimps, crabs and nudibranchs too.
